And this is why Nintendo will fail

Because they don't call their games smallpox tournament? Ok?

One has to wonder why you're only just now posting this. It was announced 3 months ago. I bet you're doing it to troll Nintendo.

I know it's a bit old, but there hasn't been a thread about it yet. This needs to be discussed.


That sounds more likely, but I'll stick to my "you're trolling Nintendo" explanation. It's much more fun than that you're just doing this because this hasn't been discussed.

I am not trolling Nintendo.


Fine, I guess I'll take your word for it. *rolls eyes*

This is a bit like when they had to change the cover of Left 4 Dead 2 in the UK as the original one used a hand gesture that is seen as an insult there.

So you're saying that they should use a name that would be seen as unappealing in Germany? It would literally mean Smallpox Tournament there. Lmfao.

It's a stupid name and most people will probably not even realize what it's refering to, so they actually should change it. It means "small pox" in Dutch as well.


Oh LOL!!!! I see why. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Now with the translation it makes more sense

Clearly the Germans are concerned about Ken getting poked.

Uh, ok...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
